<\/p>\nWell, just me to be honest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Celtic squad is out in Dubai, in preparation for the expected heatwave in February and March in another masterstroke which will condition them for the extreme conditions.<\/p>\n
The freak weather has already started in the north of Scotland, as this picture, taken yesterday in Peterhead, shows quite clearly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Go on admit it. you’re bored beyond belief at the lack of football. I#ll wager you even looked for a stream on Friday night to watch Hibernian and Dundee United. In a perfect world, of course, these two clubs would both be promoted, and Kilmarnock would drop out.<\/p>\n
We can always hope, I suppose.<\/p>\n
The team won’t be playing any matches while they are out there, despite talk of a glamour friendly with “rangers ” to promote the “new old firm” . Turns out the Ibrox club didn;t book the flights early enough, and when they went back up to full fare, it was beyond their means. They did try to borrow the money, as the fee for the game would have seen them make a tidy profit, but they couldn’t find anyone daft enough to lend it to them.<\/p>\n
Rodgers thinks not playing games is a good idea, and since he’s been pretty much right about everything else, we’ll go along with that. He tols the Sunday Post;<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not playing any games because we don\u2019t need any,\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThere can be a commercial element to these trips sometimes, but this isn\u2019t one of those cases.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWhat we are getting is more training time, time that will allow us to reinforce our principles and work on different aspects of the game.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe club have given me the freedom to look at the fixture list, and see how it would pan out.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIf we were to be successful as we wanted to be, then we identified this period as one for recovery with a warm-weather training camp.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI said Dubai because you\u2019re pretty sure it\u2019s going to be warm. The club have helped with everything I\u2019ve ever wanted. So it\u2019s all gone to plan.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There have been a lot of games so far this season, December alone saw nine, so its good for the players to relax, and maybe allow those little knocks and strains to heal.<\/p>\n \u201cThe players have had a lot thrown at them, physically and mentally, in the seven months that we\u2019ve been here,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThere has been a huge volume of games to deal with.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cSo what we will do in Dubai is have a wee refresher before pressing the reset button and getting ready to go<\/em> \u201cThe beauty of it is we\u2019ll be fresh on our return, and maybe have a couple of players integrated to the squad.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n A wee hint there that his activity in the transfer market isn’t done yet.<\/p>\n But we won’t be signing this guy, as was revealed on what some thought was the official twitter feed…<\/p>\n
